We present new Herschel observations of four massive, Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE)-selected clusters at $0.3 leq z leq 1.1$, two of which have also been observed with ALMA. We detect 19 Herschel/PACS counterparts to spectroscopically confirmed cluster members, five of which have redshifts determined via CO($4-3$) and [CI](${}^3P_1 - {}^3P_0$) lines. The mean [CI]/CO line ratio is $0.19 pm 0.07$ in brightness temperature units, consistent with previous results for field samples. We do not detect significant stacked ALMA dust continuum or spectral line emission, implying upper limits on mean interstellar medium (H$_2$ + HI) and molecular gas masses. An apparent anticorrelation of $L_{IR}$ with clustercentric radius is driven by the tight relation between star formation rate and stellar mass. We find average specific star formation rate log(sSFR/yr$^{-1}$) = -10.36, which is below the SFR$-M_*$ correlation measured for field galaxies at similar redshifts. The fraction of infrared-bright galaxies (IRBGs; $log (L_{IR}/L_odot) > 10.6$) per cluster and average sSFR rise significantly with redshift. For CO detections, we find $f_{gas} sim 0.2$, comparable to those of field galaxies, and gas depletion timescales of about 2 Gyr. We use radio observations to distinguish active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from star-forming galaxies. At least four of our 19 Herschel cluster members have $q_{IR} < 1.8$, implying an AGN fraction $f_{AGN} gtrsim 0.2$ for our PACS-selected sample.

The galaxy phase-space distribution in galaxy clusters provides insights into the formation and evolution of cluster galaxies, and it can also be used to measure cluster mass profiles. We present a dynamical study based on $sim$3000 passive, non-emis
sion line cluster galaxies drawn from 110 galaxy clusters. The galaxy clusters were selected using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) in the 2500~deg$^2$ SPT-SZ survey and cover the redshift range $0.2 < z < 1.3$. We model the clusters using the Jeans equation, while adopting NFW mass profiles and a broad range of velocity dispersion anisotropy profiles. The data prefer velocity dispersion anisotropy profiles that are approximately isotropic near the center and increasingly radial toward the cluster virial radius, and this is true for all redshifts and masses we study. The pseudo-phase-space density profile of the passive galaxies is consistent with expectations for dark matter particles and subhalos from cosmological $N$-body simulations. The dynamical mass constraints are in good agreement with external mass estimates of the SPT cluster sample from either weak lensing, velocity dispersions, or X-ray $Y_X$ measurements. However, the dynamical masses are lower (at the 2.2$sigma$ level) when compared to the mass calibration favored when fitting the SPT cluster data to a $Lambda$CDM model with external cosmological priors, including CMB anisotropy data from Planck. The discrepancy grows with redshift, where in the highest redshift bin the ratio of dynamical to SPT+Planck masses is $eta=0.63^{+0.13}_{-0.08}pm0.06$ (statistical and systematic), corresponding to a $2.6sigma$ discrepancy.
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) has identified large numbers of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) over a wide range in redshift. A detailed understanding of these DSFGs is hampered by the limited spatial resolution of Hersch
el. We present 870um 0.45 resolution imaging from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) of 29 HerMES DSFGs with far-infrared (FIR) flux densities in between the brightest of sources found by Herschel and fainter DSFGs found in ground-based sub-millimeter (sub-mm) surveys. We identify 62 sources down to the 5-sigma point-source sensitivity limit in our ALMA sample (sigma~0.2mJy), of which 6 are strongly lensed (showing multiple images) and 36 experience significant amplification (mu>1.1). To characterize the properties of the ALMA sources, we introduce and make use of uvmcmcfit, a publicly available Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis tool for interferometric observations of lensed galaxies. Our lens models tentatively favor intrinsic number counts for DSFGs with a steep fall off above 8mJy at 880um. Nearly 70% of the Herschel sources comprise multiple ALMA counterparts, consistent with previous research indicating that the multiplicity rate is high in bright sub-mm sources. Our ALMA sources are located significantly closer to each other than expected based on results from theoretical models as well as fainter DSFGs identified in the LABOCA ECDFS Submillimeter Survey. The high multiplicity rate and low projected separations argue in favor of interactions and mergers driving the prodigious emission from the brightest DSFGs as well as the sharp downturn above S_880=8mJy.
We cross-match galaxy cluster candidates selected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) signatures in 129.1 deg$^2$ of the South Pole Telescope 2500d SPT-SZ survey with optically identified clusters selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) scien
ce verification data. We identify 25 clusters between $0.1lesssim zlesssim 0.8$ in the union of the SPT-SZ and redMaPPer (RM) samples. RM is an optical cluster finding algorithm that also returns a richness estimate for each cluster. We model the richness $lambda$-mass relation with the following function $langlelnlambda|M_{500}ranglepropto B_lambdaln M_{500}+C_lambdaln E(z)$ and use SPT-SZ cluster masses and RM richnesses $lambda$ to constrain the parameters. We find $B_lambda= 1.14^{+0.21}_{-0.18}$ and $C_lambda=0.73^{+0.77}_{-0.75}$. The associated scatter in mass at fixed richness is $sigma_{ln M|lambda} = 0.18^{+0.08}_{-0.05}$ at a characteristic richness $lambda=70$. We demonstrate that our model provides an adequate description of the matched sample, showing that the fraction of SPT-SZ selected clusters with RM counterparts is consistent with expectations and that the fraction of RM selected clusters with SPT-SZ counterparts is in mild tension with expectation. We model the optical-SZE cluster positional offset distribution with the sum of two Gaussians, showing that it is consistent with a dominant, centrally peaked population and a sub-dominant population characterized by larger offsets. We also cross-match the RM catalog with SPT-SZ candidates below the official catalog threshold significance $xi=4.5$, using the RM catalog to provide optical confirmation and redshifts for additional low-$xi$ SPT-SZ candidates.In this way, we identify 15 additional clusters with $xiin [4,4.5]$ over the redshift regime explored by RM in the overlapping region between DES science verification data and the SPT-SZ survey.
Some formation scenarios that have been put forward to explain multiple populations within Globular Clusters (GCs) require that the young massive cluster have large reservoirs of cold gas within them, which is necessary to form future generations of
stars. In this paper we use deep observations taken with Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) to assess the amount of molecular gas within 3 young (50-200 Myr) massive (~10^6 Msun) clusters in the Antennae galaxies. No significant CO(3--2) emission was found associated with any of the three clusters. We place upper limits for the molecular gas within these clusters of ~1x10^5 Msun (or <9 % of the current stellar mass). We briefly review different scenarios that propose multiple episodes of star formation and discuss some of their assumptions and implications. Our results are in tension with the predictions of GC formation scenarios that expect large reservoirs of cool gas within young massive clusters at these ages.
We present a catalog of 105 rich and massive ($M>3times10^{14}M_{sun}$) optically-selected clusters of galaxies extracted from 70 square-degrees of public archival griz imaging from the Blanco 4-m telescope acquired over 45 nights between 2005 and 20
07. We use the clusters optically-derived properties to estimate photometric redshifts, optical luminosities, richness, and masses. We complement the optical measurements with archival XMM-Newton and ROSAT X-ray data which provide additional luminosity and mass constraints on a modest fraction of the cluster sample. Two of our clusters show clear evidence for central lensing arcs; one of these has a spectacular large-diameter, nearly-complete Einstein Ring surrounding the brightest cluster galaxy. A strong motivation for this study is to identify the massive clusters that are expected to display prominent signals from the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) and therefore be detected in the wide-area mm-band surveys being conducted by both the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the South Pole Telescope. The optical sample presented here will be useful for verifying new SZE cluster candidates from these surveys, for testing the cluster selection function, and for stacking analyzes of the SZE data.
